Do PlanBee's KS2 RE resources follow the National Curriculum?
Religious Education is not part of the National Curriculum in England in the same way as subjects such as Science or Art and Design.

PlanBee's KS2 RE resources support common areas of primary Religious Education, but schools should select and sequence resources according to their own RE curriculum or agreed syllabus.
